Major grid lines

Divide a graph at regular intervals according to the scale. Major grid lines cross their axis line at the exact location of the scale label. Styles include:

Regular Grids. Normal grid lines that are the height of the frame.

Grids and Ticks. Normal grid lines that extend outside the frame.

Inner Ticks. Small tick marks from the frame edge inward.

Outer Ticks. Small tick marks from the frame edge outward.

Spanning Ticks. Small tick marks that span the frame edge.

x x

Minor grid lines

Divide a graph at regular intervals according to the scale. Minor grid lines cross their axis line at equal intervals between major grids/ticks; they never align directly with a scale label. Styles include:

Regular Grids. Normal grid lines that are the height of the frame.

Grids and Ticks. Normal grid lines that extend outside the frame.

Inner Ticks. Small tick marks from the frame edge inward.

Outer Ticks. Small tick marks from the frame edge outward.
